The Arkansaw traveler., 1887-07-09

OIeu Ine klIlS, when ne dFflVeu, Dflng-
 ing a present, for heroes are pleased
 with courtesy. In this way being
 conquered, he subdued the east, ex- ] tirpated violent kings, as the wind
 sweeps away the trees. Being power i full, he reached the eastern ocean, tur- l bulent with it's rolling waves, as if i trembling with fear at the conquest of
 the Ganges. At the extremity of the
 precipitous shore he placed columns
 to show his victory, rising like the
 king of the serpents, for the purpose
 of demanding safety from Patala.
 Then the leaders of the Kalingas
 bowed to his yoke and became tribu-
 tary, and the glory of this famous
 king ascended the mountains of Ma
 hendra. Having conquered the forest
 of the Raja's with his elephants that
 came like the peaks of the Vindhya
 frightened by the defeat of Mahendra,
 he came to the southern country. There he made mountain-dwellers of his enemies, who became worthless,
 pale and roarless like a cloud in the
 season of autumn. The Kaviri was
 crossed by him, and he crushed everv-
 thing before him, while the fame of the king of the Colas, and the dirtiness
 of the river passed away together He
 did not permit the Muralas to lift up
 their heads, which were repeatedly
 crushed by taxes, but even the women
 could not display their charms. And
 when his elephants drank the water of the G0davari separated into seven-
 fold heads, it was as if discharged un-
 der the appearance of liquor seven fold. Then the king of Vatsa crossed
 the Reva, came to Ujjayini and en-
 tered it, Candamahasena going before.
 He went there as the object of the glances of the women of Malava, who
 were resplendent with the double
 brightness of garlands and dishevelled
 hair. He remained there so happy,
 being hospitably treated by his father
 in-law, that he even forgot the favor
 ite pleasures which he enjoyed in his own country. And Vasavadatta was there, living with her two parents, remembering her infancy, as if dis tressed even with her happiness. The Raja Candamahasena was as much de- lighted with his daughter as he was with meeting Padmavati. Then hay ing rested few nights, the delighted king of Vatsa set out for the western regions, accompanied by the forces of his father in-law. His sword, in form like creeping plant, was indeed the smoke of the fire of his courage. be- cause it made the eyes of the women of Lata turbid with weeping. "This shall not be torn out by the roots that l may stir up the ocean," the mountain of Mandari-thus think ing trembled, as its words were spoken by the Raia's elephants. In truth he was glorious, different from the sun, etc., because victory ob-
 tained for him even in the east a dis
 tinguished rising. Then he ap- preached the region made beautiful by the laughter of Kailasa, to Alaka, the ornament of Kuvera, which announced its loveliness. Having subdued the Raia of Sindu, and followed by his horsemen, he destroyed the Mlecchas as the descendants of Raghu did the Rakhhasas. The troops of horses of the Turushka's were split
 by the multitude of his great ele-
 plants like the waves of the disturbed sea in the woods on the coast. The famous ruler took the tribute of his enemies and cut off the head of the wicked king of the Parasikas, as that of Rahu was. His glory, prejudicial to the Humas, resounded in every quarter and rolled down from the Himalaya like second Ganges. His foes were benumbed with fear as his enemies shouted aloud, while merely an offensive echo was heard from the rocky caverns. It did not appear won- derful that even the king Kamarupa, his head without an umbrella, bowed before him, and was without any shade. Then the great sovereign re- turned, accompanied by the elephants that had been given to him, looking as if they were moving rocks delivered to him as tribute by the mountains Thus, having conquered the earth, the king of Vatsa, attended by train, reached the city of the king of Ma gadha, the father of Padmavati. And | the king of Magadha, accompanied by his wives, came and was joyous, like | Love, when the moon illumines the | night. And he considered that Vasa-
 vadatta, who had lived with him un-
 known and discovered herself, was entitled to the highest respect and
 dignity. Then being honored by the
 king of Magadha in his city, followed | by the hearts of all the people, cling
 ing to him out of affection, and having | swallowed the whole surface of the | earth, the conquering Raja of Vatsa
 returned to Lavanaka, his own coun- try.
